If you play along with the video it's pretty easy to follow. Again,
I just posted this the people who were confused with the video,
or did not see the video. Thanks [here's the link for her tutorial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnkaOD8eXVM&feature=channel ]
She's goes pretty all-out with this, putting a ton of emotion that
is pretty impossible to do :) so, of course, it won't sound exactly the
same, but just keep trying and the strumming and everything will fall
in place--don't obsess over trying to copy her every move
Apollo
And look at more of Kina's videos cuz she is the best in the world :)
Lyrics:
Verse:
I feel defeated again
I'm always losing to myself
I tried to build a better me,
Shack to castle, and it fell down
Verse:
I had the right intentions
Sometimes my hope envelopes me
And I can't learn the lesson
Not to send a goldfish to the sea
Chorus:
This matter is mine
Don't worry I'm fine
This matter is mine.
I'm not going to give it up.
Verse:
I know what you've been thinking
Too soon to empty my cocoon
This butterfly's not ready
Wouldn't she know better than you
Chorus:
This matter is mine
Don't worry I'm fine
This matter is mine
I'm not going to give it up.

I feel defeated again
I'm always losing to myself
I tried to build a better me
Shack to castle and it fell down
I had the right intentions
Sometimes, my hope envelopes me
And I can't learn the lesson
Not to send a goldfish to sea
This matter is mine
Don't worry, I'm fine
This matter is mine
I'm not going to give it up
I know what you've been thinking
Too soon to empty my cocoon
This butterfly is not ready
Wouldn't she know better than you?
This matter is mine
Don't worry, I'm fine
This matter is mine
I'm not going to give it up
